RevHD announced Thursday it has expanded its product line with a new precision-engineered line of sockets that enable visual use of the technician-trusted 2-1-1 bearing adjustment procedure for all manually adjusted hubs.
According to RevHD, the company’s new sockets feature etched hash marks that guide technicians through the 2-1-1 process: an easy-to-remember, repeatable method that helps eliminate human error and delivers consistent RP-618 accuracy on the wheel end.
Built with input from the shop floor, these sockets can be used with a wide range of nuts on the market (including the Rev-Loc Universal Spindle Nut) to deliver a TMC RP-618 perfect bearing adjustment on any manually adjusted hub. No guessing. No counting threads, the company says.
“This socket is a technician-first solution that helps make every bearing adjustment more accurate,” says Sean McDonald, president, RevHD. “Ours is a grassroots approach, built on listening to technicians and fleet owners and ultimately designing products that make their jobs easier. Our new socket is no different, allowing technicians to more easily and quickly conduct a proper bearing adjustment on a manually adjusted hub. It’s at the core of what we do – maintenance made simple.”
Wheel-end maintenance plays a vital role in keeping trucks running safely and efficiently. Precise bearing adjustments are key to avoiding downtime and maximizing performance. RevHD states these sockets are designed to play a fundamental role in helping technicians conduct the correct torque procedure and maintain the integrity of the wheel end with every install.
The company also says the 2-1-1 method comes to life on RevHD’s sockets by using etched hash marks, allowing users to see the markings that otherwise would be covered by a traditional socket.
“With this socket, we’re giving technicians a smarter, more reliable way to get a critical job done right, because safety, uptime and trust are non-negotiable,” says McDonald.
